SHERIF ALI missed the break, leaping up at the start, had a stalking position inside ahead of only one runner down the backstretch, had a sharp turn of foot at the five sixteenths pole reaching for more ground, shifted out four wide coming to the front group at the quarter marker, was full of run in the six path turning for home and stormed home in the final eighth of a mile to get up for the win in the last few jumps under a well timed stretch move. SOULMATE was away alertly to have the rail on the lead, continued up top while pressed outside down the backstretch, narrowly maintained the advantage inside rivals with a quarter mile from home, spurted clear when called upon on the rail straightened out for the drive, moved well holding at the sixteenth pole but was caught in the last few strides almost getting the job down from start to finish. ELUSIVE KNIGHT settled in mid-pack on the fence, offered little movement down the backside, looked for running room in the two path behind runners at the midpoint of the last turn, skimmed the fence at the top of the stretch and had a good stretch kick inside rivals to be a clear third at the wire. SWAN LAKE travelled on the outside of another rival in mid-division, picked up the bit when urged at the five sixteenths marker, closed the gap four wide around horses two furlongs from the wire to be in the mix five wide with runners on each side in upper stretch, evened out in the final furlong but got up late, catching an inside tiring foe for the share at the finish line. KING ELVIS was nestled on the rail behind the leader, sat posed on the fence waiting for a seam midway on the final bend, bid three wide getting a path between horses at the top of the stretch, was no match for the top pair at the furlong pole and faded in the final seventy yards losing a couple of positions in the late running. C C'S KINGDOM was unhurried trailing outside in the early stages, started to commence a run three wide midway outside horses on the last turn,loomed widest in the seven path full of run at the top of the stretch, could not sustain the rally through the lane and stalled by the eighth pole. MISTER HOLDEN had a tracking role outside another early on, moved in to hound the pacesetter outside down the back straight, chased in vain making little headway on the frontrunner through the far turn, could not maintain forward position in the three path by upper stretch and had little to offer by the furlong marker. VOLCANIC travelled three wide settling close to the back on the initial turn, made no progression along the backside, could not keep up, being passed on either side to be in last at the five sixteenths pole and could only manage to pick up a couple,e of weary foes in the stretch run. GRANDE SOIREE had a good spot isolated watching the front three rivals in the first half of this two turn race, took closer order three wide in the final bend to be in the conversation in the front mix at the quarter pole, had little to give for the stretch drive and emptied out four wide between foes at the top of the lane.
